RE: T-storm conversionFrom: "Alex Collier" <ac@ratbike.org> Next Article (by Author): re: Oil Consumption Barry <I am at the final stages of ordering parts for my t-storm <conversion. <My last question I hope is, is it worth it to go with roller rockers, <roller tappets, and chromemoly fixed length pushrods? Is it woth it <for engine life, reliability, less friction, or increased rpm / <speed? Stuff isn't <cheap but is it worth it, and what are some of the benefits? Joe, I didn't/wouldn't get roller rockers. Stock rockers are pretty damn tough & light too. I did/would upgrade the lifters though. Especially if ya run the piss out of it like I do. Apon over rev, stock lifters have been known to pump up too much & bend pushrods and/or valves. V-thunder makes excellent lifters that cost somewhat less than SE. Springs are another thing you might want to think about. Since the TS heads come w/stock 1200 springs, you may float a valve if ya spin it fast enough. Especially if your hard on it & have upgraded the cams. The crane thermo cools are a little better than the SE springs. Your pushrods should be fine if your cams aren't above .500" lift. Think of your vavle train as a system(cams, springs, lifters) just like the taxes(air cleaner, jetting, exhaust). Good luck w/your conversion.
